2018 Wrought Syrah
Only 3 Cases Remain : Les Collines Vineyard | 115 Cases Produced | 13% Alcohol
Pristine syrah grapes from Block 12 were harvested in the cool morning, and then are loaded whole-cluster into fermenters. After a 5 day cold-soak, we begin the process of foot crushing to help break down the berries allowing for a very gentle extraction. After 8 days, the native fermentation became active. After 27 days on skins, we pressed and racked to concrete egg and neutral barrel. No adjustments of any kind. Aged for 11 months and then bottled unfined and unfiltered. Two years bottle age before release.
Our most restrained and youthful bottling to date. Quietly aging in our cellar for two years, this wine is just beginning to show it’s potential. On the nose, this wine is equal parts petrichor (the smell of dry soil after a rain) and berries. Once on the palate, the wine unfolds. Earthy aromatics frame and support the focused and layered black brambly fruits along with hints of burnt orange, charcuterie & cinnamon. Surprisingly fresh, savory, and lingers pleasantly with a grip of fine grained tannins and balanced acidity helping to cleanse the palate. The wine is complex, yet weightless. Cellaring this wine will be rewarded.
